LaPointe Pre-Fall 2026: Maintaining the Focus

Ive discovered that concentrating on fewer pieces and refining them makes the collection stronger and more impactful. Streamlined lines are performing exceptionally well for us, stated Sally LaPointe while presenting her pre-fall collection in the new downtown New York City atelier.

For several seasons, LaPointe has been refining her signature approach that has defined the brand for 15 years: standout occasionwear. This focus has clearly resonated, resulting in a collection that highlights the brands strengths.

Our atelier allows us to connect with clients on a deeper level, offering them a personalized experience with the brand, she added. The collection features bestselling materials like stretch leather in a bold black-and-white snake print paired with a coordinating mesh top, sleek ruched coated jersey dresses, and new draped tops teamed with feathered or wide-leg party pants in bright orange and soft baby blue shades.

LaPointe explained that pre-fall centers on understated power, crafted for summer with lighter fabrics and striking colors. Notable pieces include eye-catching outerwear in ultra-lightweight hand-painted black-and-white feathers or ecru Lurex fringe, alongside sequined dresses lined with mesh to keep them airy while maintaining their strong visual impact.
